Chapter 40

The entire Jiangcheng University was stirred into a great uproar.

"Holy crap! Ten thousand people assessed, and only a little over a hundred passed the graduation project?"

"Here's a horror story: over 9,800 people in this batch have to repeat a year!"

"The most terrifying thing is Qin Mu's—no, God Qin's—graduation project! Good heavens, the Thirty-Three Heavens giant building blasted eleven alien beings to death!"

"The upper limit of technological civilization is actually this high? With his own strength, he crushed over a hundred extraordinary civilizations. If it really doesn't work out, I'll learn from God Qin next year and use a technological civilization for my graduation project!"

"Pah! God Qin's Thirty-Three Heavens Celestial Court design is so exquisite; can a failure like you understand the principles within it?"

"..."

Those graduates who had to repeat a year suddenly held Qin Mu in supreme esteem.

The news released by the school authorities definitely wouldn't be wrong.

More and more people changed their perception of technological civilization.

And those students who passed the assessment and graduated successfully...

Collectively fell into a state of doubting their lives.

They had all evolved extraordinary civilizations.

But now.

They had been crushed by an ordinary civilization!

From divine fire value to top-tier combat power, a comprehensive crushing!

It was simply too demoralizing.

At the same time.

Principal's office.

After receiving the news, Qin Mu couldn't wait to come here.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

He stood at the door and knocked.

"Come in."

Chu Tiange's voice came from inside.

"You're here, sit."

Chu Tiange looked at Qin Mu, revealing undisguised appreciation.

Now.

He no longer felt that Qin Mu was wasting his talent by researching technological civilization.

Being able to raise the upper limit of technological civilization to the ninth rank with his own strength—wherever he was placed, he was a top-tier genius!

"The reason I asked you to come this time is mainly for two things."

Subsequently.

He got straight to the point: "The first thing is to congratulate you on passing the graduation project assessment and graduating successfully. This is Jiangcheng University's graduation certificate."

As he spoke.

He took out a graduation certificate, and on the certificate, an Origin Crystal was placed.

Qin Mu's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward.

He took the graduation certificate.

He was in a hurry to come here, of course, not for this so-called graduation certificate.

But for this Origin Crystal!

As a top-tier university.

Every student who graduated successfully from Jiangcheng University would be rewarded with an Origin Crystal.

To encourage students to achieve better development after leaving school.

And now.

What he was lacking was origin power!

"Ahem, there's also a second thing."

Chu Tiange coughed dryly and continued: "Every year, the first person to pass the graduation project assessment at Jiangcheng University receives a bonus of 2 million World Coins from the school."

Hearing this, Qin Mu.

Blinked and frowned: "Principal, can I exchange the World Coins for origin?"

What he was currently lacking was origin power.

If he wanted to evolve living beings, one Origin Crystal was clearly not enough.

And on the market.

One million World Coins can be exchanged for one Origin Crystal.

But Origin Crystals have always been extremely scarce.

Even with money, it is very difficult to purchase Origin Crystals.

Only in some top-tier universities with abundant funds can one find a large number of Origin Crystals.

Chu Tiange heard Qin Mu ask this.

He was somewhat surprised and frowned: "Origin Crystals are relatively scarce; even our school has a quota, and this year's quota has already been used up."

Organizing the graduation assessment this time.

They had spent a large number of Origin Crystals.

Graduates who passed the assessment also had to be issued crystals.

Therefore, Origin Crystals had always been in a tight state.

After a pause.

Chu Tiange continued: "If you really want to exchange, you can go find the graduates of this batch, such as Lin Ge and the others."

Qin Mu nodded.

It seems he could only wait to find Lin Ge and the others later to purchase them.

Subsequently.

Chu Tiange took a deep breath.

And said with immense emotion: "I didn't expect that this time, you could actually raise the combat power of technological creations to the ninth rank."

The scene of the Thirty-Three Heavens collectively reviving and annihilating the eighth-rank alien.

Kept echoing in his mind.

That kind of combat power had definitely reached the ninth rank!

"I admit, I underestimated technological civilization before."

Qin Mu was stunned.

He didn't expect Chu Tiange to change his perception of technological civilization so quickly.

As a transmigrator.

He had been in this world for three years.

He was very clear that people in this world had a very narrow perception of technological civilization.

They had always classified it as an ordinary civilization.

And precisely because of this, the true potential of technological civilization had never been unearthed.

"In addition, I also want to ask, what is the true upper limit of the technological civilization you evolved...?"

Finally.

Chu Tiange asked the question he had been wanting to ask.

Although Qin Mu had now raised his combat power to the ninth rank.

But...

The upper limit of extraordinary civilizations is not as simple as just the ninth rank.

Generally speaking.

In a world created by a Lower God, the upper limit of the combat power of living beings is the tenth rank.

And in a world created by a Middle God, the upper limit of the combat power of living beings is the twentieth rank!

In a world created by an Upper God, the upper limit of the combat power of living beings even reaches an astonishing thirtieth rank!

In general.

Qin Mu had barely managed to pull technological civilization out of the category of ordinary civilization this time.

But it was only equivalent to the weakest extraordinary civilization!

It still couldn't compare to those top-tier extraordinary civilizations.

"The true upper limit?"

Qin Mu heard Chu Tiange's question.

He thought slightly.

And answered seriously: "Its upper limit, like the universe, is endless; there is no upper limit!"

In his impression.

A true technological civilization—a two-dimensional foil could collapse a world.

A drop of water could destroy a universe.

And these.

Were merely the most basic means of attack.

Theoretically, as long as the dimensions continue to leap, the upper limit of technological civilization will be endless.

Chu Tiange was stunned.

He only felt that Qin Mu was bragging and didn't pay too much attention.

In his view.

Raising the combat power of technological civilization to the ninth rank was already the limit.

Those mechanical lumps, even if they were improved further...

How terrifying could they possibly get?

"Principal, if there's nothing else, I'll head back first."

Qin Mu also sensed Chu Tiange's skepticism and didn't explain further.

Once he improved the strength of technological civilization again...

The world would truly realize the infinite potential of this civilization.

Furthermore.

He had obtained an Origin Crystal this time.

After going back.

He could just put the matter of evolving living beings on the agenda.

However...

Just as he was about to leave the office.

Chu Tiange suddenly called him back.

Seeming to have made an important decision, he asked: "Three months from now, the Donglin Province is going to hold a Civilization War among a hundred key universities; do you know about it?"

Qin Mu was stunned.

He nodded.

He had been transmigrated for three years, so he naturally knew about this.

The Donglin Province covers an extremely wide range.

Jiangcheng is merely one of the top universities in the Donglin Province.

"Our school has been invited to participate this time, and I intend to... sign you up."

Chu Tiange took a deep breath and continued.

He had actually struggled for a long time before making this decision.

Because...

In this Civilization War of a hundred universities, all the participants are extraordinary civilizations.

I'm afraid...

Qin Mu will be the only one with an ordinary civilization.

However, after witnessing the vast universe Qin Mu evolved and the lethality of the Thirty-Three Heavens Celestial Court.

He felt that letting Qin Mu participate might win a decent ranking for Jiangcheng University.

Only...

After hearing this, Qin Mu.

Had his mouth twitch, and he couldn't help but ask: "Principal, can I choose not to participate?"

Just kidding.

He was currently at a critical moment of perfecting the universe and evolving living beings.

He really had no heart to go and participate in these boring competitions.

Chu Tiange was stunned upon hearing this.

He didn't expect Qin Mu to refuse so decisively.

But since Qin Mu was unwilling, he didn't force him.

He nodded slightly: "In that case, I'll arrange for others to participate. It's just a pity about the first-place reward this time—a full one hundred Origin Crystals..."
